http://www.nysun.com/article/56334 FUCK YEAH! Mean more weed in the city and cheaper prices as well as less strict police and good medicine for those in need!
I did'nt read it yet due too my dialup connection,and my peoples usuing the phone. But GO NEW YORK!!!!!!!!!
I hope it goes through..I bet if NY legalizes it..the legalization process will spread throughout the country like wildfire. It will take a couple of years im sure..but its like a snowball effect.
Man, this makes me SO Happy. I hope they include migraines in the legislation...I could really use the meds. Also, this law would allow the patient to possess 2.5 oz of weed and 12 plants. Fucking amazing. Thank you Connecticut and Rhode Island.
This made me very very happy. I knew it was just a matter of time, New York has such relaxed marijuana laws to begin with I couldnt figure out why we dont have a medical program. I'm really hoping for my mom who suffers from authritus and sciatica, and my dad who suffers from authritus and anxiety, that this thing goes through... ... just for the record, my thread was 11 hours before this one, so yes RM I did use the search button.
Your welcome! But really RI has a LONG way to go with marijuana law reform. Yes, its great they passed this MMJ bill, but the penalties for non MMJ arrests are F****** HARSH!!! Still with the Minnimum mandatory sentencing for cultivation BS!! I packed my bags and headed north to Maine, much more lax.... But anywho, GOOD LUCK NY!!!!!!!!!!!
Anything less than an Oz is already decriminalized in NY. You just get a civil citation, which sucks, but much better than a misdemeanor on your record.

Hell yes, we need more medicinal states here on the East coast! This is probably the first time I've ever said this (love you BoSox), but go New York!
